As a slight point of contention one of the big differences between German data centers in the US vs in the rebellious state of west Taiwan, is that Germany is part of NATO so at the end of the day when all of the project management reports hit the fan German land and citizens are guaranteed protection by US guns, in the China case they are a foreign directly hostile power. So although many Euro countries might not love they way the US is data harvesting, and with good reason, and the US does have some human rights abuses ultimately US military might stands as a protection against other foreign powers. An apt analogy is, "you aren't allowed to pick on my little brother that's my job." type situation.

So I've seen this a couple of times and to me it make sense, but it also seems such a perfect indictment of organizational culture that I could see it being fabricated for laughs. Can anyone vouch for the authenticity of this?

No but I am a single individual. If I was a company that produced widgets I would use FedEx or UPS rather than maintaining my own fleet of trucks, drivers, maintenance staff, etc.

John Locke was the architect with the PowerPoint the Founding Fathers put into code.

Under that system a young German scientist who wrote about the photovoltaic effect would be ignored and classified as non-reputable. Just saying being part of the institutions doesn't make on right it makes one prominent.

In the same way that Uber is just someone else's car.

Well I hope the bill for legal services is as well received by Teixeira as he claims the unknowing participants are receiving his "research"

Looks like I am too late to edit my comment but I will acknowledge I was wrong about that those indicators seem to be reasonable and I could see myself possibly being in support of something like that not in the SAT itself but as a factor in admissions.

I disagree with the experts part, after all under meritocracy Einstein is the greatest scientific mind of the 20th century however he wasn't even able to get a job in academia until after he produced ground breaking results.

If you get caught stealing $700,000 you've got a problem.

If you get caught stealing $700,000,000 the criminal justice system has a problem.

Ah yes the. We are going to modify your score based on the color of your skin. I think that is a good way of doing it. I am sure no one would lie about that just to get a few extra points on the SAT, besides treating people different based on their race is totally a good idea an never results in unintended consequences. I like the idea basically we are making sure each side is equal but slightly separate from each other.

The alternative is to make it completely subjective and based on the whims of the committee. I can't see that going wrong at all, like because there are no committee members who might be racist or sexist or have a bias against religious people or anything like that. No the college acceptance committee stands as paragons of virtues moral giants in this land of ethical pygmys they alone are incorruptible unswayable and perfectly and completely fair in all things.

So standardized merit based metrics serve only as a barrier to their ineffable judgement and pure deductions let it be them alone and their powerful "algorithm" that is too pure and holy for mortal eyes to sully with their gaze be the new standard by which we determine if a student can go to Harvard, for clearly this is the one true way forward and will never be manipulated by self serving or short sighted beauracrats to manipulate and politic in.

You sure you've been reading the same strip because the PHB and Dogbert have both been deliberately mean on multiple occasions.

EDIT: Also catbert whose whole character is about being cruel.
